Can I add an ADU to a home in Egbertville, Staten Island?

Yes, many Egbertville homes can add an accessory dwelling unit, and the rules recently got friendlier.

Egbertville’s low-density R3 and R3X lots are exactly the kind of parcels the update targets.

How much rental income can an ADU generate in Egbertville?

A legal accessory dwelling unit in Egbertville can realistically generate $1,600 to $2,200 per month depending on size, finish, and whether it has a separate entrance. That income can offset a large share of a mortgage carried at the 6.43% average 30-year fixed rate reported the week of July 2, 2026 (Freddie Mac).
